WAMV Forces Visualization #109

Open osrf-migration opened 5 years ago

osrf-migration commented 5 years ago

Original report (archived issue) by Marshall Rawson (Bitbucket: MarshallRawson).

Create a model plugin (attached to the WAMV) which looks at all forces applied to that model’s links and visualizes them with gazebo markers. The markers should ideally not be expressed as simply forces and torques on the Center of Mass of an object, but rather arrow markers steaming from where the force on the wamv is being applied, a length proportional to the magnitude of the force, and direction equal to the direction of the force.

Is the plan here to use the gazebo visual markers? As I understand, that feature can in gazebo8 so we will not be able to support it for the older version

Hi Rumman, when I made this issue, that is what I had in mind. I think that supporting gazebo 9 only is a good first step and later we can see if we can add a work around to help with gazebo 7 like publishing the rviz marker equivalents through ROS in the /vrx/debug topic namespace or something.
